Pusser's 'Gunpowder Proof' Black Label (previously known as Blue Label) is a higher proof traditional British Naval rum, produced using the blending recipe from the Admiralty. Well loved, it picked up a Trophy at the International Spirits Challenge 2016.
The nose is full of dried fruits, dates, prunes, slightly overripe figs. The palate is very sweet, plenty of dark, syrupy, stewed fruits. An interesting pot still character with a pleasant muddiness. Full-bodied. The finish is incredibly long and dark.
This is simply the best dark rum you will ever taste. A lovely warming and intoxicating flavour, to be drunk neat, warmed in the glass held in the hand, and savoured.
What a beauty, if anyone adds coke or any such nonsense.....overboard
Having served in the pusser Navy for 16 years I can say ""none Better.""
As an ex navy man and avid rum drinker I do enjoy this rum. Not for the squeamish though as it is full of flavour and bite.
One of the best as regards tasting like the original rum in the Royal Navy. This rum is to be savoured either neat or 2in1 (two parts water to one part rum) the grog that was issued to junior rates every day until 31st July 1970. Brings back the memories.
